The Sophistication Shift: Fraud Is No Longer Loud — It’s Smarter. And It’s Here. Today we’re releasing the Sumsub Identity Fraud Report 2025–2026 — our most data-driven analysis yet, built on: 4M+ fraud attempts, 300+ fraud & risk experts surveyed, and 1,200+ end users surveyed across 6 regions. Some of the key findings: • 180% YoY surge in sophisticated fraud — deepfakes, synthetics, telemetry tampering. • #Deepfake attacks up 2,100%. • Top targets: Online media & dating (6.3% fraud rate each). • 2% of all fake documents detected this year were generated using tools such as #ChatGPT, #Grok, and #Gemini. And it’s just a little part. What does this mean for 2026? Fraud is no longer a front-end problem. It’s a behavioral problem. An AI problem. A telemetry problem. The next frontier belongs to businesses that can: • Unite behavioral analytics, AI-led risk scoring, and multi-modal verification • Detect fraud before the document hit • Identify whether an action comes from a human — or an AI fraud agent Verification can’t stay static. Fraud isn’t. Want to see what fraud will look like in 2026? Download the full report and stay ahead of the Sophistication Shift. https://lnkd.in/dYhctZfQ #FraudReport #Sumsub
